The Perfect Match: Forged Shovel and Genuine Leather Case.
Introducing the amenoma Forged Shovel with Leather Case Series.
A shovel is an essential tool for gardening. Shovels made by Japanese blacksmiths are excellent, effortlessly digging through even hard soil. They are durable and built for tough use. To maximize their performance, proper care is essential. We wanted to create a way to use and store them beautifully for a long time. This led to the creation of the "amenoma Forged Shovel with Leather Case Series," a combination of forged shovels crafted by Sakai Seisakusho and genuine leather cases.
Sakai-Industry's shovels are made using traditional Japanese forging techniques. A single piece of steel is carefully hammered out, resulting in a finish that combines durability with ease of use. Beyond gardening, they are reliable companions for various situations, including camping and disaster preparedness.
However, even the finest tools will deteriorate if not properly maintained and stored. After use, soil should be removed, and the tool should be stored in a place protected from rain and wind. This is where the "Leather Case" made by amenoma comes in. The series includes the "Hori Hori" and "Forged Shovel" models. Let's explore their features.
amenoma Hori Hori with Leather Case Series
This shovel is popular even overseas. Its 3mm thick blade can effortlessly dig holes and trenches in hard soil for gardening and vegetable patches, while its serrated edge can be used for cutting roots and dividing plants. The blade is fully hardened, making the product highly durable. While conventional products also come with cases, they are made of synthetic leather, which raises concerns about durability and often breaks. To allow for stylish storage and portability, we have created genuine leather cases. There are two types: a rust-resistant "stainless steel type" and a cool "carbon steel type" with a black-forged finish.
As the Japanese name "Sansai Hori" (wild vegetable digging) suggests, this tool is indispensable for harvesting wild vegetables and mushrooms. Designed for outdoor use, portability was our top priority. Equipped with a belt loop, it can be quickly attached to a backpack or waist belt, allowing you to move with both hands free.
From digging in hard ground to delicate tasks like carefully removing soil around roots, the combination of the 3mm thick blade and serrated edge handles it all. It is useful in various situations, such as working with soil in the garden, cutting roots, and making holes for potted seedlings. It also comes with a case for long-term portability, ensuring safe transport after harvesting.

This product is designed for reclamation work, leveraging its robust blade and substantial weight to tackle hard soil where regular shovels would struggle. By meticulously hammering and forging steel heated red-hot, the steel's structure becomes denser, resulting in a highly durable finish that combines both hardness and tenacity.
Shovels are often left outdoors after use, making them prone to deterioration. To address this, we have included a genuine leather case to provide a proper storage environment. The aging of genuine leather, which develops character with each use, enhances the beauty of the shovel.
The forged shovel is available in two types: "short handle" and "long handle," each excelling in different scenarios. The short handle is convenient for one-handed tasks and excels in compact work. The long handle is useful for two-handed tasks, allowing you to work standing up and cover a wide area. This forged shovel can withstand the demanding work of landscapers and is popular for trendy rock garden projects. Recently, it has also become popular as a camping shovel. It is a true companion tool with a wide range of uses, designed to be used across generations.
